Trump, Elon & RFK Jr. destroy the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (#NIOSH), the only government agency that researches occupational safety and health hazards, and certifies respirators. The result: More workers will get sick and die jordanbarab.com/confinedspace/…

The Purge: the only agency focused on workers’ safety just got whacked, despite a minor budget. Remember the poultry workers during Covid? Elon says forget about them. jordanbarab.com/confinedspace/…

Loser. True.

1/#RFKJr gutting NIOSH, eliminating 873 (2/3rds) staff. Its the ONLY federal research body for #WorkerSafety-certifying respirators, protecting miners, health workers & firefighters. Now more Americans will die from preventable workplace hazards. Jordan Barab bit.ly/446elm8

I feel so liberated.

Oh yeah, well if the Heard and McDonald Islands want to get out of that tariff, they should just join the United States as the 51st ( or is it 52nd?) state. We need more penguins.

These are the words of someone who has absolutely no understanding of the scientific method. There is no way to know in advance that a study will arrive - by September, no less! - at a definitive conclusion when looking at the etiology of a condition.

“Every pink slip is an attack on American workers” says former Deputy Labor Secretary Chris Lu of potential DOGE layoffs at the DOL. Former officials and staff are outside the DOL’s HQ today protesting cuts to the agency.

Love the chyron. But really is this craziest thing that Elon "found"? Even crazier than all the 150-year-old people collecting Social Security he allegedly "found." Also, are we really sure that RFK Jr's brainworm isn't contagious?

California had a mandatory Constitution test in 8th grade. (I got 100%. In case it's not obvious).

Really? Now if the first thing my Uber driver said was " Good morning, I can't drive," then I might be worried

I'm writing a letter to the House Committee on Education and Workforce requesting input on how we can ensure that Congress effectively acts on the obvious and open corruption in the Trump White House.

Trump Budget to Workers: Drop Dead Inspections will drop to a historical law, #OSHA's standard office is decimated and the Chemical Safety Board will be eliminated. The result: More workers will be killed, maimed and sickened. jordanbarab.com/confinedspace/… via Jordan Barab
